Being saved as a young child I learned many Bible stories, but it wasn\u2019t until later that I began to understand how all of these \u201cstories\u201d fit together.&nbsp; Jesus was planned from the beginning of time to redeem mankind because of their sin. I also began to understand that all of those \u201cstories\u201d were connected together.&nbsp; The Bible is not just a compilation of popular Bible stories. &nbsp;They were real events in real people\u2019s lives.&nbsp; The Bible isn\u2019t just full of favorite Bible passages.&nbsp; Those Bible passages were messages from God to specific people throughout the ages.&nbsp; And these Words were preserved for us to read, understand and live by today.&nbsp; All people, especially children, are capable of learning so much more. <strong><em>The Biblical Path of Life<\/em> <\/strong>is a study meant to simplify the understanding making the Bible relevant to a Christian\u2019s life \u2013 young or old.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>The Biblical Path of Life<\/em> <\/strong>has been used in the local church of M. J. Ross for over fifteen years as a Sunday School program.&nbsp; It has been shared with a few other churches (and individuals) who have used it as well.<\/p>\n<p><strong>M. J.
